when can we talk about 'it'?

By joewrightgm, in X-Wing

You know, that which cannot be named. The general consensus seems to be 9/3 when the gag comes off, and hopefully big box stores will have it for sale.

Doubtless there will be an official article covering stuff. I think it's odd they'd be keeping it this quiet, considering Hasbro's entire catalogue is out for anyone's perusal.

Talking about everything hasn't been an isdue. FFG has only deleted threads that post pictures or links to them as far as I know.

Look if your parents haven't had the talk with you then ask your teachers, this isn't an appropriate forum to discuss the birds and the bee's.

Shhh

Big brother is everywhere

Kick off is officially 12:01 AM Sept 4 at Target locally! There was a sales flyer delivered yesterday with coupons and the announcement. Seems theres more on Sat too!

I suggest showing up earlier on Thurs night to chat it up!

Basically, as soon as FFG posts an announcement article. Which will likely be Friday morning.

I do kinda wonder though. Should they have kept an article or two discussing wave 8 in their pocket that they could have released last week when the pictures broke to give us something else to talk about.

There is no new core set, you want to go home and rethink your post *waves hand*

So my local target isn't doing the force Friday midnight thing and the closest one is about an hour or more away in a ghetto area so I'll be skipping it. However anyone know if other targets will have it? Like if i show up to my local one in the morning that didn't participate will they have them as well?

Most likely Thursday during the 18 hour live merchandise reveal is when the gag will be removed.

My Birthday is on september 5th...

I think it would be nice if all of you at the same time called FFG the same day telling them to develop the assault gunboat as a present for me :D

Hmmm...I keep reading where Target stocks the game. In my area, no such luck. I don't know why they wouldn't stock it across the board, so to speak.

Look if your parents haven't had the talk with you then ask your teachers, this isn't an appropriate forum to discuss the birds and the bee's.

LOL! As an aside, the only target open late near me is local, but it's not the closest one, but still...

Sybok:..."I can not but notice your pain.....it runs deep....share it with me...."

Did anyone think to mention to Target that Sept 4 starts at 12:00, not 12:01. They're robbing us of valuable you buying time.

I went to both of my local target stores today, not only did I find they didn't have anything for X wing, but they had almost nothing for star wars at all. Plus, no room for the apparent incoming stuff. I called about 5 other local stores trying to find one that carries anything for this game, and oddly enough the only place that did was Barnes N Nobles!

There are some things best not ever being mentioned. :P

If it's anything like my Target, they put the remainder of their Star Wars merch on clearance. Trying to make room for all the inevitable new merch.

Target dropped the XWing game a few years ago and clearanced all their old stock. Thats when I got into it! They havent carried it since! But they apparently picked it up again for Ep VII and Force Friday! Go to the link below and put your zip code in to see where the closest Target is particpating this Friday!

I'd rather support my LGS so I am wondering when they will get their's?

I've mentioned before that I am reasonably confidant that the distributors will be able to talk about and sell to the LGSs on Thursday or Friday. So, assuming stock levels are not an issue, that would mean that the LGSs should have them next week sometime.

Like you, I would like to support my local stores. I'm willing to wait a week or two to do that. What I am afraid of is that the hype surrounding the new movie will cause a run on the inventory and the first printing will sell out before the LGSs can get their share.
